Richard enjoyed his job at Harnischfeger Corporation for 40 years as a welder, working with his hands building and designing things,  and  making people laugh, as he was the life of the party.

He leaves those to cherish his memory, sisters Bernice Mayberry-Godley, Kathy D. Mayberry,  son Richard M. Mayberry, grandson Jaiden Peterson, sister-in-law Ceola Mayberry, ex-wife Dorothy Sims-Mayberry, nieces, nephews, cousins and a host of friends.
